Earlier, JICA, as part of the international technical assistance program under the Emergency Recovery Program (Phase 2), in accordance with the Grant Agreement between JICA and the Government of Ukraine, provided the city road department with 3 dump trucks, which are currently involved in ongoing work to eliminate the effects of enemy shelling, install gabions and improve the Kherson region.

The Government of Japan also provided Kherson with two new SONAROL SNR 210 tractors equipped with attachments, which are also being used to eliminate the effects of shelling, transport materials and carry out repairs in the city. In early December, Kherson received three trucks and spare parts from Japan worth approximately $766,036.

Prior to that, Japan handed over a Komatsu WB97S-5E0 universal all-wheel drive backhoe loader to the Kherson water utility. The excavator, adapted to work in difficult climatic and road conditions, performs a wide range of functions and is characterized by high maneuverability during operation.
